Mines not bad with 3.55s & 35s but it could be better. My last lifted truck I had was on 37s with 4.88s and it was amazing. Just wanting to try and take the strain off of everything but I guess unless I find someone to mod the carrier or they start making something for these it might be down the road...

I hear ya bro, same here. Just seems like a hassle at the moment. Have you gotten any estimates on the costs to upgrade to 4.56s?

Only thing i'll have in it is parts once I figure it all out. I have a buddy who's a Dodge Master Tech and awesome at setting up rear ends so he'll be the one doing it. I've had him build probably 5 rear ends for me and seen him build a crap load of others. He's the only person ill have touch my stuff when it comes to that. The parts side isn't to bad I wish someone would just build and aftermarket carrier to accept those ZF axles and I would just buy it and gears instead of having to have work done to my current carrier.

Having some problems with the rear driveshaft now after the rear pro comp lift. Developed a "clunk" upon accelerating from a stop. Looks to be my pinion angle is too steep and the driveshaft seems to have pulled out about 1" from the tranny. Not too satisfied with the rear lift so far.

Contacted Pro Comp and waiting for a response.

Sucks man, sorry to hear of the issue. I have had a few lifted trucks and by luck haven't run into that yet. I'm going with the Maxtrac 7' with the 3" BL. Hoping not to many issues with the 37s on the 22x14 or maybe a 22x12. I don't do cutting anymore as I went that route with my old Silverado as I was just dying to fit 40s and I screwed that thing up royally lol.

Those 20x12 will look good with 37x13.50 tires. If I can fix my issues I'll go with 38x13.50, or 15.50 if I can fit them

Not at all man. I have plenty of room for 13.50 but I'll need new wheels for the 15.50

Interesting, I talked to Maxtrac and told them my plan to get thier take on it and they said with BL and thier kit I could fit 37x13.50 on a 22x12 and maybe a 22x14 but might have to do some trimming.

Where is the dang chat room, this would be much faster on this situation HAHA

Lol I know chat would be nice

But seeing as most wider wheels have a bigger offset/backspacing they may be too wide to clear the bumper. My rims have a low offset so my only concern is rubbing sway bar and spindles

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Removed the ABS fuse and trimmed a washer that was mounted to a plate. Now the noises and weird vibrations are gone!

But now to figure out how the ABS works and why it was interfering....
